Presented by: Tanya Geisler

FREE Regisration

ASL Interpretation Provided

In a society preoccupied with perfectionism, we are often made to feel like WE are broken when things aren’t quite working, or when we are overwhelmed. For high-achieving folks with strong values of integrity,  mastery, and excellence, the added experience of the Imposter Complex can be a bottleneck to activation. It aims to keep people out of action,  doubting their capacity and alone and isolated in the experience. This 90-minute workshop will help participants discern where and how the  Imposter Complex has been in the way, and what to do about it.    About the Presenter: Tanya Geisler (she/her) is a certified Leadership Coach, TEDxWomen speaker, and writer who teaches high-performing leaders how to combat their Imposter Complex and lead with an impeccable impact so they can achieve their ultimate goals. Her clients include best-selling authors,  public speakers, and rockstar motivators.

Disrupting Unconcious Bias

April 22, 3:00pm-5:00pm

Presented by Cicely Blain from Bakau Consulting

Arts BC Members Registration: $10 | Non-Members Registration: $20

ASL Interpretation Provided

Please note: participants are required to have taken either ‘Intro to Diversity & Inclusion’ OR ‘Fundamentals of Anti-oppression’ offered by Bakau Consulting (formerly Cicely Blain Consulting), as this is an intermediate-level workshop.

This workshop provides participants with an engaging and interactive opportunity to investigate and unpack their own personal and organizational biases. This workshop provides educational information on the science behind cognitive bias and how it informs the decisions we make every day. While biases are a natural part of our human brains, this workshop allows attendees to think critically about how biases may lead us to make unfair decisions, lack diversity in hiring, or exclude people. Participants leave with a renewed sense of urgency and knowledge for recognizing bias in everyday conversation and decision-making which in turn transforms workplaces for the better.
